Seems that Shahid's diagnosis applies in Palestine, too.
WTF is Trump's son-in-law doing there?

Shahid Bolsen maps who actually runs New York.
It’s money—land, finance, and the institutions built around them.
Media storylines keep us invested in party politics, while private capital translates its goals into public policy.

A friend who lives in Northumberland - north of Newcastle & near the sea - told me she lived in a "micro climate"...
It’s only a year since we came to live in North East England, so I don’t know whether it’s unusual to have the late summer garden flowers still going in mid-November?
It’s nice to retain a bit of summer colour in the garden, but rather unexpected! xx #gardening

Good news, for a change, from Starmer's gov't / MI6/SIS.
Pity they weren't so squeamish about complicity in Israel's unlawful bombardment of Gaza and/or Lebanon.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I'm following too many people fighting for freedom & democracy in the us, while there are few that I've come across on this platform that care about EU countries' freedom from VD Leyen, Macron, Merz, in particular.
They are populists seeking power through division.
Fuck 'em, we will not be divided.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

She makes a good point: if Speaker Johnson hadn't caused a fuss by delaying swearing Grivalja in, no-one would have heard of her 😆
Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

I am actually reading the “Curbing Traffic” book for the first time, but this paragraph feels like a more articulate version of what I say on here every time someone talks about “enforcement” as a solution to traffic woes.

I wonder, too, how much the armaments companies pay in tax, after they've paid their inducements (one way or another)...
Our society's moral failing isn't lack of "civility" or "respect for different viewpoints". It's that so many views are lacking in empathy/compassion that they support a government spending billons in weapons while scoffing at the idea of spending fractions of that to feed, clothe, and house people.

Of course, that’s not what he was saying. He was pointing out what was obviously true to anyone alive then - there was a big backlash against Muslim-Americans and anyone with an Arab-sounding name right after 9/11. But Vance has to be an asshole 24/7 for his MAGA troll fans.

No. That’s the wrong question.
The right question is:
What kind of country doesn’t tax the very rich, allows the monarchy not to pay tax (or allows the monarchy to exist) while kids go hungry + pensioners, many whom are struggling- but not Polly - are targeted?
What kind of country puts its pensioners ahead of children in poverty? | Polly Toynbee
As long as a third of children are living below the poverty line, the government cannot justify keeping the pensions triple lock, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee
